A few years ago we had a 2 week trip around the Republic and Northern Ireland....awesome!! Really impressed by the people, the land, and the history. Gained a little understanding of the “troubles” looking at those cannons in the English fort overlooking Derry.
Jane is from west Cork. During your visit, did you visit the south west and travel up the Atlantic coast.? Some of the more remote coves are only accessible via the passes on a donkey.
Spent a night in Cork and went for a walk around St Fin Barr’s Cathedral and a night in Killarney. Also walked around Waterford and as we looked at the statue of Thomas Meagher remembered him as the first territorial Governor of Montana who fell off a river boat on the Missouri River. Since we lived in Montana, we knew how to pronounce his name! Wish we could make another trip to that amazing area.
